I know he never will, but Stefanos should fire his father and hire a former world number one who's won majors to be his coach. Novak did it with Becker and I believe Agassi, and he also was with Goran for a long time. Hire someone who's been where you want to be, like Alcaraz has done with Ferrero.
true, but he is also a bit too hard on himself, and his negative attitude also showed in his game. from mid 2nd set he did some things well, but when it came to crunch time i would fall apart again.
It's nonsense, all of it. Stefanos is trying to defeat someone in the type of game his opponent has. He will never do it. He has to serve better, and if he can find a way to have 1st serve in 70%+, he will defeat Carlos, maybe even in straight sets. That's all the difference is. He has blown away his service games for no reason. NO REASON
Stefanos, overall you do need an independent thinking about yourself. You do need to start seeing yourself differently than your current coach/your dad sees yourself. You need an independence as a player and as a son from your parent. This is a key to your potential development as a human being. I wish you that soon.
Enough with this nonsense. It's very simple. SERVE BETTER. 61% 1st serve in is unacceptable in this match. He threw away his serve in the 3rd set for no reason--2nd set same thing. He's nervous and worships Carlos...wrong attitude.
It's all nonsense. He has served worse than I would in this matches. Tsitsipas needs to serve upper 60% 1st serve in or better....he needs to find a way to make it 70%+. When he does this he will beat Carlos. Imagine not seeing 7-6 in 2nd set but rather seeing 7-5 Tsitsipas. Imagine not seeing 6-4 in 3rd set but rather seeing 6-4 or 7-5 Tsitsipas. That's all it is. Carlos is not God behind his serve, and Tsitsipas had some chances. But...again, he let himself down with the bad serving.
He was neither honest nor open. Honest assessment: "I need to serve better, 61% 1st serves in is no good." Being open: "I was nervous about facing Alcaraz and thought he was better than God himself, which is why I served so badly today." That's what honest and open is. Alcaraz will face a real tough server with Sinner and get the loss he mightily deserves and a long trod back to Wimbledon, where he will lose there again. And US Open lose again, and again at ATP World Tour Finals, and again Australian Open, and again after that because Sinner is by far a superior player.
@@haniotis3421c’est votre boule de cristal qui vous fait dire ça ? Vous racontez n’importe quoi. Laissez Alcaraz tranquille, il n’a volé aucune victoire à personne. C’est le meilleur
@@haniotis3421 correct about Tsitsipas server, wrong bcs he mentioned mental barrier which is what u say about thinking that Carlos is a Godlike player, but funny delusional comments about Sinner vs Alcaraz. Carlos will school Sinner and will always do on Clay delusional fanboy
@@haniotis3421 me too when he will be smashed easily bcs Sinner is not even the second best in clay. Zverev would beat him 4 out of 5 easily, Tsitsipas too.
Him and Zverev need new coaches that aren't family, they need them like, yesterday. They are holding them back. Look at Sinner and how a new, real coach made him world no.1 and Grand Slam winner. Family involvement in tennis is bad, always.
Zverev is fine. His dad is nowhere close to being toxic. I don’t see anything wrong with Zverev’s game that his dad has contributed to unlike Stef’s who screams and talks like a madman on every point.
@@anug389 Zverev's dad is the most unsupportive coach I've ever seen in men's game. Every coach tries to encourage his player, Zverev's dad is always there looking bored and disappointed even when Sascha plays some amazing tennis, never mind when his game isn't working. And it's even more annoying because he was a mediocre tennis player in comparison to his son. To me, he's more annoying than Apostolos. Apostolos is like a nagging housewife, he at least tries to give some indications but he goes overboard with it and he at least encourages Stef. Zverev's dad looks like he really, really doesn't want to be there. Both are detrimental to players, in my opinion, and are holding them back.
It is simple, Tsitsipas relies on some shots, and has other shots underdeveloped. To beat Alcaraz it requires a more complete game. Is to improve: lobs and drop shots for one. Then he can check for different ways to stabilize, make stronger, and utilize differently backhand and slices. Then would require to be faster on the feet. Then on how to return the ball under the feet when is running to catch and other such details. But lobs and drop shots are important, very important in a game with Alcaraz which is 3D game the game is net and back, and net and back. so drop shot and lob are important for net and back games.
During the match it appeared as if Stefanos wasn't at ease and was maybe influenced by the pressure, see some of his into the net backhands or double faults that I believe he wouldn't be doing in a "casual" match. So yeah, my 2 cents on this is he has to completely liberate himself from his ego and only think about tennis. Plus working on that slice, and with all of that, I see him as a Slam champion because he has it all, he's smart, lucid, tall and skilled. The things he still doesn't have, he prevents himself from having !
That's just Tennis. It is a match up sport wich makes it so interesting. Tsitsipas has a great head to head against Zverev for example, who on the other hand plays better against Alcaraz than Tsitsi does. It's why the draw is so important. I'm pretty sure that Tsitsipas would have gone further had he been seaded in the other side of the draw. My tip for the finale is Ruud vs Alcaraz, Alcaraz in 4.
It did not feel like you have done your best mate! Not until late second set if then! It felt like a suicidal approach a lot of times! So some of this is in your head! Also you need to list your problems and try to improve them maybe!
That's totally true ( hitting harder not the best option)...I am thinking of two things... make your serving more decisive and trying the high route returns.. wish you all the best, you really have developed more aggressive.
61% 1st serves in is not good enough. Alcaraz meanwhile serving like God himself at 73% 1st serves in. Eventually, Carlitos will serve more average and Stef will serve a little better, it will happen one day and that one day Stef will win.
Stefane you are more strong and more agressive that you think Your father and your family are adorable , all you need is to have passion and faith You win experiences , and i expect a great performance from you at Wimbleton I am 67 years old , and i play tennis from 24 , i stopped at 60 and i watch always tennis from 18 years old.So i know very well what i say.See dimitrof what he is doing.. You deserve much better.So go on, every think goes write Theodore Samartzis
Yeah, some players, men or women do that.... the umpire should call "hindrance" , and explain them they are not allowed to do that ! Results would be immediate !
thats why nadal won so much, because he tries to intimidate opponents with his yelling. When Djokovic started doing it he started winning majors as well. That's why Federer is forever the goat.
Interesting how Stef can perform better against Sinner and beat him but when comes to Alcaraz he is instantly mentally blocked. Because he’s been playing very high level el tennis. He says he needs to improve on his game but more importantly the mental aspect
alcaraz is more natural on clay than jannick , and also sinner got robbed against tsitsipas in monte carlo. If not for that terrible call, tsitsipas was 100% loosing that match
Interesting how Stef can perform better against Sinner and beat him but when comes to Alcaraz he is instantly mentally blocked. Because he’s been playing very high level el tennis. He says he needs to improve on his game but more importantly the mental aspect. And agree with other comments, needs urgently a new, experienced coach that knows how to win slams. If he is serious about that, the time is now!
Stef does not have developed the hits of lob and drop shot. These 2 shots are important for his games with Alcaraz which go net and back and does not have them developed. Front and back shots such as those are very important in games with Alcaraz and he does not develop them.
Stefanos is an artist. The world of sport is full of doped athletes. So yes, it will be difficult to accept that. But, for those who would like to win Roland-Garros at least twenty times (why not...), will they see their future children grow up? Stefanos is a human athlete, and that's why it's a joy to watch him play. Remember: we only have one life, and therefore act accordingly.
I think most important are the lobs and drop shots where Tsitsipas has not developed the shots. In a back and net and back game which Alcaraz usually does with Tsitsipas which goes to net and back, drop shots and lobs a very importnat and Tsitsipas requires to develop the 2 shots. Then it would be the backhand and slice but the other 2 are more important. Then would be to run more. And then other stuff.
@@lukeattwood6187i think is very good, but one hand backhands are a weakness when the ball is high because its difficult hit strong from that position and the bounce in clay courts is high. It was happen even with federer, so unless you are a physic beast, i mean so fast, strong stamina, or hit so powerful like wawrinka, the one hand backhand is a weakness.
really looking for ward to the sinner alcaraz match..if i was alcaraz i would try and dominate into the backhand side of sinner,on its day the forhand of alcaraz can be quite destructive,alcaraz also loves that forehand dropshot..that could be key also..and he has too serve well! im going with alcaraz in 4
No, it’s definitely not a matchup that suits him no matter how he plays. New coach, new mindset, develop speed and defensive qualities, add angles etc. He can’t keep getting hit off the court and playing so far back attempting to hit his one-handed backhand at a suitable height. He won’t win any GS like that
It is very clear that Tsitsipas has some shots not developed and Alcaraz in the games uses those aspects. Tsitsipas has better forehand then Alcaraz as well as serve and his backhand and runnign are worse but those would not be enough for the games to play as such. The difference in many ways are the lob and drop shot which are very important in their games. Tsitsipas does not have them developed.
He sure didn't play that way. He was so nervous to face this "kid." He treated Alcaraz like a God, and that's why Stef served so poorly. 61% 1st serves in is no good.
His backhand against Alcaraz is a weakness that Carlos knows how to exploit , i doutbthat even if they play 15 times he won’t win a match , he simply has no solutions for Carlos game !!!,
Does it baffle anyone else how delusional Tsitsipas is about his quality of play? "I tend to believe my ball quality is one of the best on the tour". Do you share this insight? I saw him play live on Sunday, and in that area he pales in comparison with a lot of players, some ranked lower than him.
Stefanos should have smashed that tennis ball harder and on Alcaraz in the 3rd set. Bad attitude by Stef to apologize. He should have said, "Take that B*tch! Return this!"
The top players just kill Tsitsipas on his backhand I mean the very top guys have picked up on his backhand drive's inability to hit through enough to hurt them.
Man up and serve better! That's it! Nothing to analyze, nothing to think about. You will not win neutral points against him, but you can try serving better to put more pressure on his serve.
Too much self reflection is defeating. Move on....go with a new strategy next time....Carlos is great yes, but if you go in with the idea he is too good, that is exactly what Carlos wants.
The kid is just too good - for you, Stefanos, for sure he is. You are just little mouse, Stefanos Tsitsipas. Alcaraz drilled your weak backhand. Your one hander is worst than mine, little mouse, Stef Tsitsipas! Stef says - I did everything I could do. Haha! What a nonsense! You could not connect few backhands in the row. Alcaraz crushed you like an amateur, Stef Tsitsipas. If you want to really improve go out there and fix that one handed backhand. Technique is bad. Your one hander is a junk of a shot. That is huge weakness you have. You do not have any chance to beat big guys until that backhand is fixed from the core.
You speak nonsense. Everybody has strengths and weaknesses. Stef should have one clear strength over Carlos, and that's the serve. HE MUST serve better. 61% 1st serves in compared to Alcaraz at 73% is a huge difference, and we saw it in the score line. There wasn't much separating them. If it were Stef 73% 1st serves in and Carlos 61% instead, I believe we would have seen Stef with the straight sets victory. Stop spewing nonsense.
@@haniotis3421 The one spewing nonsense is you! Only reason Stef lost is his weak mind and weak backhand. Forehand and serve are great and was working great! Winning percentage you mention has nothing to do with serve, it has everything to do with weak backhand. Alcaraz tactics was very clear, to drill Stref's backhand whenever is important. That broke Stef down. Tsitsipas is just a mouse, unable to power up when it matters. He must fix that one hander! You amateur...
@@DeltoidBeast 61% 1st serves in--this means that 39% of the time his 1st serves were fault. He wins a higher percentage of his 1st serves. That is the difference between losing in 3 sets and not. This statistic is unacceptable for Tsitsipas given that his backhand is a weakness when facing Alcaraz. The backhand will never be perfect, so he must utilize other aspects of the game, but when even those are not great, he has no chance.
@@haniotis3421 What a nonsense! His backhand was not just weakness. It was a hole! What are you talking about?! 61% for first serve in is great percentage, also Stef has good second. Serve is not so relevant on clay. Rallies wins the matches on clay, if you are not better than opponent in rallies, you will lose. As simple as that. Stef must work on that one hander, he MUST improve it. If he does not, he will lose moral even more and drop out from top 10.
No.. The Kis isnt too good... you are a fraud in ATP... You always lose games against Alcaraz... in a strange way. Do not try to cover up your dishonorable sporting act with excuses.
